Journals
I was doing the last post on our dating/marriage, and it made me go back to my old journals and look through the entries I wrote when we were dating. I used to be so good at writing almost every day, and I felt like I wrote such good entries, detailed enough and often enough. I'm able to read them and I'm totally taken back to those days, and I'm able to remember how it felt and what I did and how life was. I go further forward in them, after we were married and once I got pregnant, and I didn't write very much at all. Now I keep this blog and another journal here on my laptop, and I feel like there is so much I'm missing, that I'm not writing it all down. I take so many pictures, but I'm not sure I'm really capturing how my life is right now. My life is so wonderful, and it is so precious to me, and I really hope that I can look back, and my children can look back, and be able to remember and understand how life felt now, and what it was like, where I went, and the things I do. I'm going to try and be better at this. I LOVE my old journals, they were so amazing! I don't know if I can say that with my journal-writing habits as they are now. Something to work on.

Somehow I missed it that you had a blog...big woops! I'm totally stalking you now!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI felt exactly the same about my journal for a LOOOOONG time. It used to be so cool, and now it's "I washed the dishes. I did the laundry. ETC." I felt proud to have accomplished those things, but what about my mommyings and such? I'm working on it, too. Hopefully my journal is a little less dry. ;) I bet yours is quite nice to read! Because your blog is!!!
